“Test Me” by Melanie Martinez
“Test Me” is philosophical in its approach. What it centers on is the idea that there are various challenges or tests which life throws our way. And whereas such experiences may cause suffering, they also make us stronger and wiser in the process. Moreover, in relation to the overall school-themed musical project this track is a part of, Melanie Martinez is also putting forth that school is more important in terms of the life lessons it imparts as opposed to the classroom learning.
